Good ol' Pinnacle Peak. I remember that from the ancient days starting
in Phoenix, Arizona. Yes, SCA people tried to go in there with
chainmail ties. They got wise to that pretty quickly and now stock wire
snips for smartasses like us. Their response to an order of Well-Done
steak is to bring you an old shoe on a plate. No joke.
